StanCon '24 is still happening this September. Great keynotes are set, and we've been reviewing great talk and tutorial submissions. This will be a very practical, applied event. With Bayesian sharks. mc-stan.org/events/stancon…

StanCon Oxford is in 76 days!! Some updates: statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2024/06/24/sta… Highlights: - Early bird registration ends on July 1st. - You can still submit a proposal, but do it soon. - Given the high volume of scholarship applications, we're renewing our call for sponsors!

Come one, come all, to StanCon 2024! Some fantastic talks about applying, developing, and improving Bayesian models, and some hands-on tutorials about biodiversity and epidemiology supported by The Alan Turing Institute - register now! mc-stan.org/events/stancon…

I'm thrilled to share that Richard McElreath, author of "Statistical Rethinking", is teaching the "Introduction to Stan" tutorial this september at StanCon 2024. (mc-stan.org/events/stancon…). There is still time for early bird registration! (July 1st)

New study published in nature Medicine estimates that in 2021, 2.9 million children (4.2%) in the United States had experienced the death of at least one parent or a grandparent caregiver responsible for most of the basic needs of the child 🧵1/3 imperial.ac.uk/news/259813/un…

We’re very excited to be teaching this course in Cape Town. Come and join us!
